Naoki Ranch, seven p.m.

It's getting late, and after a reunion dinner with a group of Pokémon, everyone gets busy.

My sister goes to the Pokémon Tavern to open and entertain Pokémon guests who visit every day.

The elder brother gave Naoki a stack of postcards and a few props.

Naoki took a look and realized that these were all sent back by the baby bear and Dream who were traveling abroad.

The front of the postcard is a photo, and the back is still printed with their small paw prints, and at a glance, it seems that they are the scenery and Pokémon that the two Pokémon encountered on the road.

The props were a shard of a star that shimmered red, a heart-shaped colored scale, a strange bone, and a hard stone.

Needless to say, these are all picked up by Baby Bear through the "Pick Up" trait.

Naoki roughly swept them aside, preparing to read them as bedtime reading materials when he went to bed.

As for now, he still has some things to do.

The first step is to thaw the fresh grass harvested in the autumn and then make all of it into grass dumplings.

The grass dumplings he had made before he went out had been eaten by three bleating mounted goats, and he had to remake some as soon as possible.

Mix the grass and dough and steam in a pot.

While Naoki was busy, the other Pokémon gathered in the living room, scattered throughout the house.

Naoki occasionally looked up, and he was able to see the Frost Milk Fairy and Babu Tupai climbing up and down the stairs.

It's right to think about it, this season, once it is night, the temperature outside will plummet, compared to the dark and cold outside, I believe that no Pokémon can refuse to burn the fireplace, the lights are bright, and there are endless tree fruits and snacks to eat indoors.

Naoki smiled, checked the situation of the grass dumplings, and then picked up the alarm clock and set a time.

When the alarm clock goes off, it means that the grass dumplings are ripe.

While waiting, Naoki went to make a few cups of his favorite Beishangxiang sweet black tea.

He returned to the living room with his tea, one cup in front of Lei Guanwang, who was sitting on the sofa, and the other two cups were placed in front of Laibei Tea and Sorrowful Pot.

After drinking the bitter cup of black tea on the boat, the Jar of Horror has been sad until now, and there is no smile on his little face.

Therefore, Naoki plans to change the black tea for the Horror Pot.

"Try it?" Naoki pushes two cups of tea in front of Lai Sad Tea and Horror Pot.

The two Pokémon looked down at the tea in front of them.

Laibei Tea shook his body, then floated forward and used the ultimate absorption on the tea in front of him.

After a while, this cup of sweet black tea was lowered.

Laibeicha burped contentedly, and the expression on his face became happy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It can be seen that it likes the taste of this black tea.

On the other hand, the Wonder Pot had the lid on its head, looking down at the black tea in front of it, not knowing what it was thinking, and after a while, it let out a soft sigh from its mouth

Naoki: "? ”

At this moment, two small heads poked out from under the table.

Babu Tupao took the Frost Milk Fairy and looked at the Jar with an innocent expression.

The Frost Milk Fairy said happily, "Mama! (Naoki's tea is delicious!) Sweet! ）

Babu Tupao nodded in agreement: "Ba Mo Ba Mo! (Yes, give it a try!) ）

The little man of the Horror Pot stared blankly at the two Pokémon in front of him.

It could feel the goodwill and friendliness that permeated the air.

This made the Horror Pot and Laibei Tea, who had been lonely in the dilapidated warehouse, feel a little moved in their hearts.

"Horror ......"

The Teapot shook his head, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he stretched out two small slender hands and took the cup of sweet black tea and poured it into his body.

After a few moments, the body of the Jar of Horror became more swollen, and some purple tea poured onto the table.

The Teapot was a little worried.

Naoki smiled and brought a rag to wipe off the tea leaves.

"It's okay, just wipe it off in time."

The Wonder Pot looked at the human beings in front of him full of kindness, and a few flowers seemed to bloom on his head.

Its mood then became positive and lively, and its voice revealed a pleasant atmosphere: "Horror~! ”

"Recovered?" Naoki asked.

The terrifying thought pot in front of him has completely lost the mournful breath that he had on the ship before.

The Horror Pot nodded happily: "Horror! ”

The Lei Guanwang on the side also showed a smile on his face when he looked at this scene, and he sighed with emotion:

"I didn't expect this child's temperament to change because of the taste of a cup of tea, I have never seen such a magical thing in all the years of my life!"

"yes!" Naoki nodded in agreement, and then looked at the Lei Guanwang in front of him: "You also give it a try?" Not sure that this black tea charm is not to your taste. ”

Lei Guanwang nodded slightly, and then picked up the cup of tea, put it to his lips, and sipped it elegantly.

After tasting it carefully, Lei Guanwang bowed slightly: "It's very delicious, and I like its taste." ”

"That's good." Naoki grinned.

Looking at the elegant Lei Guanwang in front of him, he couldn't help but have a picture in his mind - under the warm sunshine, Lei Guanwang sat in the flower field, elegantly tasting afternoon tea.

"Well, it would be perfect if you put a grass cake on it, and the afternoon tea with the grass cake snack is a perfect match."

Naoki remembers that the Lei Guan King is also a grass-attribute Pokémon, so doesn't that mean that the grass dumplings and grass cakes he developed before are also effective against the Lei Guanwang?

The Green Grass Dumplings can help the Lei Guanwang comprehend the grass attribute moves and increase the grass attribute energy in his body.

Grass Cake, on the other hand, can mutate the grass energy of the Budcrown King, so that it can mutate crops when cultivating them.

For example, the giant watermelon that was born before......

In addition to this, there is the World Tree in the ranch that takes 100,000 years to grow.

I don't know if the power of the Lei Crown can accelerate its growth.

Naoki's heart is stirring, but it's not too early now, and these things can only be done later.

He still has a lot of work to do.

For example, building separate stables for ghost horses and snowstorm horses,

Find the right land in the ranch and use the power of the Thundercrown King and two horses to create special ice fields and ghost fields on it.

This is used to grow black radishes and ice radishes, which are the favorite foods of ghost horses and snowstorm horses.

While thinking about it, the sound of an alarm clock came from the kitchen.

Naoki hurriedly stepped forward to turn off the alarm clock, turned off the heat and boiled the pot, and took out the steamed grass dumplings.

He called out to Old Loton and handed him a portion of the grass balls: "Go and help me deliver these grass balls to the mount goats!" ”

"Ahh

So Lerton happily agreed, and went out with the basket of grass dumplings in his arms.

Naoki took two round and soft grass balls and came to the Lei Guanwang and asked, "Try it?" This food was specially developed by me and is very suitable for grass-type Pokémon. ”

Hearing this, Lei Guanwang looked down at the dumplings placed in the white porcelain plate.

In the next second, a blue light lit up on one of the grass balls.

In the shroud of light, this grass ball automatically floated into the air and floated in front of the Thunder Crown King.

Lei Guanwang reached out to catch it, then opened his mouth and took a bite.

After a few chews, the King of Abundance immediately opened his eyes in disbelief.

This food is inside...... It actually contains a faint trace of energy!

Is it a delusion?

Lei Guanwang tasted it again.

No, not an illusion.

He clearly felt a faint trace of natural energy fused into his body!

But how is this possible?!

The Thundercrown King immediately cast a puzzled look at his little believer.

Seeing this, Naoki knew that the Lei Guanwang felt the effect of the grass dumplings.

He grinned and asked, "Feel it?" ”

Lei Guanwang bowed slightly: "I feel that there is a faint trace of natural energy contained in this, this power...... Where did it come from? No, looking at your appearance, you already knew about it. ”

Naoki nodded: "Because this is my ability, I can develop the potential of food, so that they can produce all kinds of magical effects, including but not limited to replenishing energy, healing injuries, and comprehending moves." ”

Hearing this, Lei Guanwang was slightly stunned, and then quickly accepted the matter.

"Worthy of my faith! I am so proud of you that you have this power, and that you are the chosen one! ”

Naoki: "......"

It doesn't seem that exaggerated, right?

Lei Guanwang seems to have misunderstood something, but he doesn't know where this ability to develop food comes from.

The explanation is not easy to explain, and Naoki can only respond with a smile.

At this time, so Leton sent the grass dumplings back.

Naoki took the basket from it and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When it was over, he couldn't help but yawn.

After running around for several days, Naoki felt a little tired, he glanced at the time, and before he knew it, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Naoki wanted to go to sleep, but before that, he had to arrange a place for the Reiguan King.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki asked, "By the way, do you have any requirements for a place to live?" ”

Lei Guanwang saw what he meant, and shook his head slightly: "There is no request, you can go to sleep first, I want to go outside to have a look, and then I will find a place to rest." ”

Now that he plans to live here forever, Lei Guanwang plans to go outside and learn about the situation and environment around the ranch.

"Okay, then if there's something, you can come and call me at any time." Naoki Road.

The Thunder Crown King nodded happily.

Seeing this, Naoki said goodbye to him, and then waved his hand at the other Pokémon:

"I'm going to sleep first, let's continue to play here!"

"Ahh

Lyreton, who was lying on the carpet, immediately followed.

Naoki looked around, but couldn't find Babu Tupa, guessing that he should have gone to the second floor with his partner to play, so he gave up the idea of sleeping with him, and turned around and returned to the bedroom with the pile of postcards and props sent back by the baby bear.

He put the letters at the head of his bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

*

After Naoki left, the Lei Guanwang flashed and came outside the house.

He floated in the night sky, overlooking the pasture below that was shrouded in peace and tranquility.

He saw ghostly horses hidden in the shadows, and snowstorm horses standing on the grass and snorting;

I saw the brightly lit and lively hut, where a group of Pokémon gathered, happily drinking water and chatting;

I saw many beautiful flowers blooming in the transparent glass building, and several insect-type Pokémon were staying in it, closing their eyes and taking a nap;

See the Pokémon in the orchard who are sleeping peacefully in a hut made of wood.

and three sheep Pokémon living in a fence enclosed with a wooden fence.

At this time, they were huddled around a trough, gulping down the grass dumplings inside.

The Thunder Crown King felt an astonishing wave of energy from them.

He couldn't help but be surprised.

The Thunder Crown King stared at the three Pokémon for a moment.

Soon, as if they had their filled, they walked contentedly to a young seedling, lay down around the seedling, and began to sleep.

As a Pokémon, the Thunder Crown King is able to see many things that humans can't.

For example, now, he clearly saw that a faint natural energy was being released from that seedling, constantly nourishing the three sheep Pokémon, circulating between the three of them.

"It's ......"

*

in the living room.

Pokémon such as Ice Eevee, Babu Tupa, Frost Milk Fairy, Motorcycle Lizard, Oligon, Fast Dragon, and Brother Steward cheered happily around the Lai Grief Tea and the Horror Pot floating in mid-air.

Kuailong applauded happily: "Whew~" (welcome to come here~)

Under its leadership, other Pokémon also let out bursts of screams.

"New~"

"Tbu Tt�

"Quack~"

“……”

Laibei Tea and Horror Pot felt the friendliness released from everyone, and everyone seemed to welcome their arrival.

Two Pokémon were dumbfounded, especially the Jar of Fear.

It has been living alone since a long, long time ago.

One day, the teapot it had used to live in broke down and it began to migrate in search of a new habitat.

Until one day, it strayed into the warehouse full of antiques.

It found an antique teapot there and moved in.

One-year, two-year ......

Over the years, the Jar of Horror gradually felt lonely.

In order to have someone to accompany him, he separated a part of his tea and poured it into the matching antique cup next to it.

Thus, Laibei Tea was born.

But those who came to Grief Tea were stupid, and they didn't know how to speak.

The two Pokémon lived together in that dark warehouse for a long, long time until they were discovered by the human, who gave them to a human named Naoki.

At first, the Teapot was worried about his future.

But after getting along along the way, it saw that the human had made tea for it to replenish the tea in its body, and although it was a little bitter, it still drank it.

The bitter tea made its heart bitter, and under the influence of the tea, it has been alone and immersed in loneliness these days.

Maybe it was too obvious, and the human actually saw it, and rebrewed a sweet, delicious black tea for it.

After drinking it, the pot of dreads immediately felt that the bitterness of these days had been swept away, and the world seemed to become brighter, and even the body became warmer.

Now, not only are they warm in their bodies, but they are also warm in their hearts after feeling the kindness and friendship released by everyone.

After a short pause, the Jar of Sorrow and the Tea of Sorrow let out a happy cry.

"Horror~!"

It floats in mid-air with a gentle sway, and musical symbols of pleasure dance above its head.

A magical force filled the surroundings, and the Pokémon below looked up at the Jar of Horror floating happily in midair, and their eyes lit up.

Then out of nowhere, they found a tree fruit, and they held the fruit and ate it happily under the leadership of the dancing Horror Pot.

In the room, Naoki, who had just finished taking a shower, heard the lively Pokémon screams coming from outside, and thought they were arguing, so he opened the door and went to check.

But before he could get closer, he saw a group of Pokémon sitting in front of the warm fireplace, taking out tree fruits and holding a tea party.

Seeing this beautiful scene, Naoki was slightly stunned.

Is that...... Tea party?

Tea party, the exclusive move of the Horror Pot.

It is said that this move is only used when the Jar of Fear is happy, and it invites other Pokémon to hold a tea party and taste tree fruits and delicacies.

"What a beautiful move!"

Naoki stood in place and couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't bother, because he knew that it was a tea party for Pokémon.

"Ahh

At this moment, Loton ran out of the room.

Naoki looked at it and whispered, "You can go and participate too!" ”

So Leton looked over there, then stuck out his tongue and licked Naoki, then ran to the fireplace to meet his fellow Pokémon.

Naoki smiled slightly, and after leaving Oldton for the tea party, he turned back to his room and sat at the head of the bed.

Naoki quietly listened to the laughter of the Pokémon outside, and then took out the postcards sent back by Dream and Baby Bear to look at them one by one.

There are four photographs, the first of which shows a group of Pipsqueak circling around a campfire, with a round moon above their heads, as if performing some kind of ritual.

The baby bear held the star fragment in his hand and poked half of his head out of the camera, as if he was happy to have picked up the star fragment.

"Pippi on Tsukimi Mountain?" Naoki was a little surprised.

He picked up the star fragment that the baby bear had sent back, and then looked at the star fragment in the photo of the baby bear's hand.

There is no doubt that the fragment of the star in the photo has been sent back by the baby bear.

The second photo shows a vast mountain stretch.

"Could this be the famous Silver Mountains?" Naoki couldn't help but guess.

Baby Bear and Dream have run so far away, huh?

I just don't know if the top of this Silver Mountain is red.

In the third, Caracalla and Galagala mother and son with bones in their hands.

One of them, the young Caracalla, was reaching out and giving one of the bones as a gift to the baby bear.

Looking at this scene, Naoki guessed based on the behavior of helping the baby bear before the dream:

"It should be Dream and Baby Bear who helped the Galagala mother and son, so Caracalla gave them his treasured stick bones."

The fourth photo shows a sparkling lake.

On the surface of the lake, a beautiful Pokémon is moving slowly in the sun.

Is that...... Menas?!

This is the most beautiful Pokémon in the world!

When he came to this world, Naoki saw Menas for the first time, and although he was separated from the photos, he could still feel the charm of Menas.

The scales that shimmer like a rainbow in the sunlight are so beautiful!
